Venom Settles a Huge Fan Debate: Yes, Symbiote Colors Matter
Within the Marvel community, there has been an ongoing debate among fans of the Venom character as to whether or not symbiote colors actually mean anything. The debate grew some traction upon the release of the movie, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, where a scene implies the hierarchy of colors when Venom is afraid of Carnage at first sight just for the fact that, «that is a red one.» The actual comics, however, never established a consistent meaning for any of the differently colored symbiote characters.
